IMPROVEMENT IN SUSPENSION EGG-CARRIER.

Specification forming part of LettersPatent No. 75,623, dated March 17, 1868.

Be it known that I, ABNER H. BRYANT, of the city of Wilmington, in the State of Delaware, have invented a new and useful Suspension Egg-Carrier; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear. and exact description of the construction and mode of using the same, reference being hadl to the annexed tray, with its cord for suspending the web-of I pockets. Fig. 4 is a view of the lid of the carrier, with the board o r air-cushion for displacing the eggs in the trays when desired.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceedto describe the construction and manner of using my carrier.

I construct a fra-me of wood, as shown in Fig. 1, for the purpose of receiving and holding the trays d d d d, as.shown in Fig. 2, so that when in place they form, as it were, a compact box. To the lid of this box I attach a board or framed air.- cushion, e, for the purpose of displacing the. eggs when required, and acting as a safeguard to the upper web of eggs.' The trays are simple frames, as shown, made to fit neatly together when set upon each other in the box-frame. these frames or trays with cords set in and fastened or laced through the sides, as shown I provide in Figs. 2 and 3. lI also construct a web of pockets, which set in and are fastened to the cords at the outside. These pockets may be composed of any suitable cloth.

It will be perceived, byv a glance at Fig. 2, that, owing to the space allowed between each trays contents and the elasticity of the cords with the pockets or pouches covering the eggs, no usage, (aside from the actual breaking of the outside box-fra1ne,) however rough, will be sui'licient to jam or injure the contents of the pockets or pouches.

In removing the eggs from the pockets or pouches I use a plain board one inch thick, or

a framed air-cushion attached to the lid of a size suflicient to admit it freelywithin the frame-work of the tray, and when the trays require emptying all that is necessary is to remove thel tray from the box-frame, set it Witnesses It. C. GRAHAM, J. B. STANGER.
